The deadline has been extended for the Mother of the Year contest.

Do you know a woman who deserves to be named the Mother of the Year?

Shear Perfection and La Junta Tribune-Democrat are sponsoring a Mother of the Year contest. The winner will receive a spa day, courtesy of Shear Perfection, and a variety of gifts, as well as a story in the La Junta Tribune-Democrat.

"We all have wonderful mothers - it will be an honor for us to pamper the Mother of the Year," Hallie Schockey, owner of Shear Perfection, said.

"There are so many deserving women in this area," Candi Hill, publisher/editor of the La Junta Tribune-Democrat said. "This is a great opportunity to showcase that special woman."

The rules are simple. People must write or type a one-page, one-sided letter to a committee explaining why the woman they are nominating is deserving of the Mother of the Year award. Do not include any names, including the woman's name, in the letter. Instead, on a separate sheet of paper, write or type the nominee's name and your name. Be sure to include contact information.

A committee of local community people will judge the anonymous entires and determine a winner. The winner will be notified before Mother's Day and a Saturday spa session set up shortly after.

Entries can be sent to Mother's Day Contest, ? La Junta Tribune-Democrat, P.O. Box 500, La Junta, CO 81050 or dropped off at the office at 422 Colorado Ave. The deadline for entries is April 9. All entries must be received at the Tribune-Democrat on this date.
